Please remember that Robinhood is a private company, so if they want to collude with hedge fund managers to deny small investors access to the stock market, then that's just something we all have to accept. We must never, ever question the actions of a private company.
However Discord would have known about this "bad" behaviour for a long time and it wasn't a coincidence that they finally decided to apply a ban hammer, so it's a very weak cover story. Also, racial slurs? You're the first I've heard of racist slurs - I had only heard of people calling themselves/the group retards and autists - meant in an endearing, self-deprecating humour kind of way. I've seen no instances of racism on /r/wallstreetbets - I really doubt on their Discord they'd be allowing racism though.

Disorderfs: FUSE-based filesystem that introduces non-determinism into metadata
Mods on WSB are catching a lot of flack for closing a thread asking for alternative brokers (no idea why) and for commenting in another sticky not to go and write bad reviews for the brokers limiting trades.

I fear they are about to get a harsh lesson in what happens when the mob you are leading turns against you.
I keep a small cutter + window breaker combo in my car. [0] not sure how effective it would be, but it's small and cheap. is it reasonable to expect people to do this? I dunno, you're driving around at high speeds in a metal box. no matter how well engineered, some fraction of the time it is going to crumple in a way that the doors no longer work. of course, if you're going to account for this tail risk, there's a lot of other emergency equipment you should probably carry around for more likely events. I can't leave my house everyday with 200 lbs of equipment.

If a broker has a technical problem processing a trade, they deserve to be blamed.
Obviously I'm speculating but one of the largest investors in Robinhood's last round was a hedge fund.

As others have pointed out, Citadel's market making arm is their largest source of revenue + Citadel's hedge fund recently invested a large amount in Melvin Capital to help shore up Melvin's capital base after their loss.

Unfortunately unless Robinhood insiders leak or post their rationale behind this decision, we'll never really know what happened behind closed doors.
Ya but under NDA so can't go into it.
'Sorry' and 'sad' are intellectual things. They can be understood by a sociopath who sees that its horrible, without feeling anything.

Burning to death is such a horrible way to go, what empathetic person could resist trying to help?
Yes, this is what a CLA solves. And I tend to refrain from contributing to projects that have a CLA, although it might not be reasonable: there's little difference with licensing your contribution under MIT, I think.

However, if you license your project under AGPL, you probably deemed AGPL comfortable for your needs. I did too, so licensing my contribution under something else feels a bit uncomfortable, especially if it is substantial.

Anyone have any recommendations on brokers? I would like to move off Robinhood as soon as possible.
The bundle of sticks
I don't know how to respond to this except to say that anyone operating on either the assumption that Chromium uses WebKit or the belief that Blink being a WebKit fork means that it makes sense not to consider them sufficiently distinct is mistaken one way or another.

People will act like the prospect of maintaining private forks of NPM modules is a major crisis, but then convince themselves—or let other people get away with convincing themselves—that 8+ years of diverging development involving two software giants' investments of billions of dollars of engineering resources poured into implementing their vision of what is one of the most complex and complicated undertakings that exists in software development is somehow no big deal.

(And that's not what "pedantic" means. Both this parenthetical and your comment are examples of pedantry.)
When was Nokia being pumped? I bought calls on it for something I saw on HN a week ago which is what you're supposed to do and have been watching WSB and no one was talking about it.

Also: thinkorswim just let me submit an order to buy more NOK anyway. Heh, this is what you get for using robinhood.
I agree, they weren't very good lawyers.

They'd prefer we don't do anything to reduce the risk.
I think that is totally fine! Especially if it is organized that way from the start.

But as soon as you allow contributions, is the project really yours anymore? Is it fair to the community that has contributed to your project, all of a sudden to be locked out from it, and forced to fork it to continue it's evolution? Why not hand it over to the community and start your own fork for personal development? I think that is the larger debate to be had.
Can Citadel exercise any sort of discretion on what order-flow they'll fill? Can they legally tell Robinhood that they will no longer fill orders for GME?
You can still get an anonymous card [1], along with paper cards from a machine, and printed e-tickets. So I would not say that travelling anonymously is becoming impossible, but rather that the current method is a lot more convenient for most, and thus the most known one.

> My modern sensibilities mean that I'm always surprised that toilets and taps work when there's no electricity.

That entirely depends on where you live! If you're in a valley and the water source is up in the mountain, gravity will do the job... but if you're living (in terms of height) above the water source, you'll likely run out of tap water very soon - depending if your water utility provider has installed backup diesel generators on-site.
The problem with archive is that it looks like "not maintained anymore"/"deprecated", which is not the case here.

And yet pretty much all of the developed world manages to do this much cheaper than the US whether or not there are insurers involved. This is not an insurance problem in the US.

It's a healthcare regulations being used as corporate welfare problem.
IANAL, but...they have those rights anyway, by suing you. Putting it in a contract isn't changing reality, it is just saying "water is wet". If they tried to collect on it without a lawsuit, you'd surely file one to argue that you didn't breach agreements or were not the direct cause of loss. So at the end of the day, this is just saying "Conflicts may end up in court.", which is the status quo with or without a contract.

Not that I disagree with crossing it out - that is a good call. It just isn't as glaring of an evil clause as it might appear.

This is why I would recommend OP pay for an hour of a lawyers time to read over the contract and give some advice. Because what sounds scary is often meaningless and what sounds benign is often actually fairly unreasonable. If you aren't experienced reading contracts, it is worth the cost to get some help.
Nope, the ONT (Optical Network Terminal) that Verizon FIOS installed has a backup battery, but once that's exhausted it goes dark like the rest of the house. They also removed the copper line during installation, it seems like Verizon at least doesn't want to keep supporting their copper network where FIOS is deployed.
Why didn’t they tweet a policy decision?

One explanation is that this is a systematic behavior, part of their software is seeing market conditions it can’t execute into and hitting this case. If it’s not sustained or is happening only during particular microbook states the best thing to do is let the software behave as designed and let it stabilize.
Nationalization is probably not on the horizon with Tesla being a U.S. company. Anti-trust forcing Tesla to split their chargers and car sales is more likely than not if EVs actually become the future.
My goodness the entity which approved this death trap (if any) needs to review the requirement. The "ux designer" has failed miserably here. There should always be a fallback option. These issues with the handles have been reported in various tesla fan forums even. Very sad story.
Just seen the speeding mentioned, valid point , extremely irresponsible , however the topic is vehicle safety. When it comes to human life , every % to prevent death should count.
There are key-fob seat belt cutters, for example [1]. I've never noticed anyone carrying one though.

I think there are good and bad aspects to an economically focused transactional society, but there’s also a lot of evidence we are getting less transactional over time. Similar for disposability, where everyone is becoming painfully aware of externalities due to climate change.

“Economic man” was a 19th century concept, where philosophers dreamt of a society where everything was broken into transactions and property. This is still the dream of some libertarians, and is one of the delusions that made the US so economically successful for so long in spite of its social and environmental costs.

However, we are an increasingly interconnected world, isolated disposable transactions certainly still happen at scale, but I see a lot of evidence this is being curtailed.

An interesting observation: most successful enterprise software companies have a large portion of their sales as “not” transactional, and these tend to have the highest repeatable revenue streams.

Consumers are also incredibly studying how the organization would use a contribution. Who they politically donate to, etc. Vs, just letting price and features dictate a purchase decision.
That seems like a misinterpretation of ARIA guidelines. I'm pretty sure the guidelines are meant as "if you are going to use a div as a button, do this", not "do this instead of using a button".
I have to say, that still doesn't mean much to me here. In a real court system, we judge people by their actions and behaviors, sometimes their speech can play into that. I assume that's what the author was referring to. (Apparently the origin of this quote is not clear, but it does seem to come from that same time period) This can't be compared to social media, the only way to judge anyone in the context of a social media platform is by what they say. That's all there is on these platforms, if you take that away, there's nothing left. You are judging someone every time you make a decision whether to like/follow/reply/retweet or not. If your view is that all that doesn't matter and the speech is meaningless, then it follows that any perceived punishments are also meaningless.

Primarily tabs losing their position, not maintaining their hierarchy, weird behaviour around moving tabs around, crashing and freezing. Also all-around bad performance. Maybe it's improved since I last used it a year ago, but it was so infuriatingly buggy for such a long time that I'm just not willing to give them another chance. Especially when Sidebery just works (99% of the time) and it's more performant than TST ever was.

For a lot of young people, the only paths to a regular life are either work hard for 5-10 years, live like a poor student, save the majority of their money and gamble that life will be affordable at the end, or just gamble away their money today. It’s so much harder to reach regular milestones that it’s sometimes not even worth the effort. I don’t think taking this away from a bunch of nihilistic young men is going to end well...

On an unrelated note, start preparing yourself for a neo-feudal society now and you will still live well. You will own nothing, and you will be happy.

It's definitely still mostly about the money, sticking it to wallstreet is a real but small factor and more of a fun bonus and rallying cry.
This isn't a fundamental based investment on both sides. Even if you believe GME is about to go out of business, shorting it at 140% is ridiculous. This is momentum trade on both sides. The difference is all establishment (news media, hedge fund bros, brokers and government) is against one side (retail).

We have a contract downstream where we provide turnkey delivery of software that uses the project as a base. The contract say we must own all the software delivered and we're liable for it.

> But programmer ergonomics don't seem like a focus of their team currently.

Actually, maybe my post gave a wrong vibe. I like Rust and I think the team put a lot of effort into programmer ergonomics.

It's just that the language is focused on performance a lot and compete with C++. And so they sometimes make tradeoffs in favor of performance instead of expressiveness or simplicity.

That is understandable - but 95% of the projects I(!) have worked on don't need this - I can just give it a GB more RAM and a bit more CPU and write software quicker because I don't have to care about certain details.

> At least that's happened to me, maybe I am just dumb and mediocre though.

The fact that you used Rust probably puts you in the upper 10% - rough gestimation. I'm not telling you which 10% though. :P
The connection is pretty conspiratorial. By that logic every company in the valley could be heavily influenced to shutdown products for different people if it as any connection to a VC (which is pretty much every company).

I think discord probably made some calculations on its own as opposed to pressure from Melvin/Point72. Though in this day and age it seems that the truth ends up being stranger than fiction.

I think you are mistaken if you believe anyone in government cares about number of likes and dislikes on any YouTube videos and uses this to base their position on any given policy.

Even if they cared about traditional old-school polls you’d probably have Medicare for All, the USA would be completely out of Iraq and Afghanistan and you’d be able to buy Cannabis legally. I doubt they’d ignore the known popularity of these things but suddenly care about social media likes and dislikes.

Nailed it. There is a context for all of what’s happening. GME may seem like a funny oddity but there is real resentment boiling underneath the surface of this event. I know it because I feel that way myself.

Everything I’ve seen from how the media covers it to how our financial institutions are forming ranks to condemn retail investors sickens me. It’s making obvious the informal lines of control the investor class use to maintain their wealth and their anger to have the average person attempting to play their game.

It’s like a giant metaphor for how screwed up our society has become.
Relying on USA based IT seems to be very poor choice
Honestly, I don't see where the attempt to equate the WSB people out to make a quick buck by gambling and hope they win out over the hedge funds as being that connected to the deplatforming of right wing people - I'm sure given "the right" and "wall street bets" are large groups that there is some overlap, but in Europe I know plenty of people following along the stock market with no connection to current US issues.

People have found an unpopular target (large funds, still a lot of dislike built up over the 2008 recession, current inflated housing markets in many cities) and there's a swing in popular emotion and yes, public figures have egged it on at this stage, but it's not really a protest against donald trump's deplatforming or liberal elites that some people are trying to make it out to be.

Plenty more people willing to take risks on that among the middle class when the stock market is the only way to even keep the value of their savings anyway. My savings account has an actual interest rate that was cut from 0.50% to 0.01% this year, whereas 2020 excluded, inflation has been around 1% in my country. Many of my friends in similar situations have gotten involved in stocks under a similar background and a not insignificant number of them are operating under logic like "90% in long term stocks, 10% for whatever crazy long bets" (like which airlines are going to come out of this, whatever stock reddit is pumping at the moment, bitcoin or companies like AMD a few months ago which they're like "I use this stuff and so many insitutional investors are completely clueless on the market dynamics").

So you get people with "stupid bets" funds, and an idea that gets momentum (The shorts cannot not buy, let's outwait them), and this is the result.
I missed the boat, but I'm cheering all of this on from the sidelines.
Exactly that, a number of US states used to ban it so water utilities, and water rights buyers can make more money.

As of now, I believe the last explicit ban on that was repealed decades ago.
RH is blatantly rigging the system in favor of the hedge funds. Not good.
There is an old story in my family about my father buying the family car, the first to have electric windows/locks. In his mind those were a potential safety issue (winter, dead batteries). He insisted on at least the sunroof having a manual crank. That wouldn't help anyone trying to get in from outside, but at least someone on the inside could get out.
I don't know- there must be institutional players on the long side by now right? Either way, _eventually_ someone will be left holding the bag when the stock comes back down to earth.
